Hill’s™ to ‘Go Walkies’ with Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind

Pet Food Leader Partners with Charity for Fundraisers

CORK, Ireland (May 27, 2015) – Hill's Pet Nutrition is delighted to announce its new partnership with Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind to provide the charity with high-quality pet food and raise funds through several fun events for dog walkers.

Dog owners, nature lovers and IGDB supporters are invited to get involved by taking part in one of five regional “Go Walkies” across Ireland’s beautiful countryside.

At every Go Walkies event, IGDB team members and volunteers will be on hand to educate walkers about the charity, and Hill’s will be providing gifts bags and t-shirts for all participants as well as a free weight check for every dog.

“Hill’s grew from the work of a veterinarian in the 1930s who developed a pet food specifically to help a guide dog, Buddy, who was suffering kidney health problems,” said John Ashmore, Consumer Marketing Manager, Hill’s Great Britain. “It’s therefore a great privilege for us to be able to make a contribution to guide dogs in the present day and support a cause that’s very close to our hearts; helping people and keeping the dogs they love and rely upon, healthy.”

Hill’s partnership with IGDB also extends to providing the charity with high-quality pet foods to help keep its guide dogs healthy from puppyhood to their lives as working adults.
